It's a bit more time-consuming but if your speakers are having sex with one another, sit back and wait for the speaker children and let them think of a solution.

Are you talking about hifi speakers?

I’m sure you can physically do it, but whether the impedance is correct, or whether they will handle the output load of your amplifier is another matter.

What kind of speakers are they? How many ohms? What wattage rating do the speakers have? What amp are you using it with?
Are you planning on using actual home/car audio speaker wire to hook it up?
